TAKEN BY STORM
01. ASHAMED 4:08
HEY ! HEY !
HEY ! DON'T YOU FEEL ASHAMED ?
LOVE AIN’T BLIND
NO GOD IN THE SKY
WE HAVE NO MIND
MY EYES ARE DRY
THEY SEEM SO CUPID
OUR LITTLE ACHES
I FEEL SO STUPID
PULL THE BRAKES !
(CHORUS)
HEY ! DON'T YOU FEEL ASHAMED ?
HEY ! DON'T YOU FEEL ASHAMED ?
MY LOVE IS GONE
MY COFFEE’S COLD
GOOD DAYS ARE GONE
I’M GETTING OLD
IT FEELS SO USELESS
WHAT WE CARE FOR
I FEEL SO BRAINLESS
SMASH MY HEAD ON THE FLOOR !
(CHORUS)
WHY DO WE NEED MORE ?
ALWAYS MORE ?
HEY ! DON'T YOU FEEL ASHAMED ?
MY FRIENDS ARE JERKS
I CAUGHT A COLD
(DON'T YOU FEEL ASHAMED ?)
NEED TO TAKE A TURD
I’M GETTING BALD
IT FEELS SO NOXIOUS
WHAT WE CARE FOR
I FEEL CONTAGIOUS
SHUT THE DOOR !
(CHORUS)
02. MONEY 3:10
I’D GIVE YOU
MY HEART IF YOU LOVE ME
I’D REACH EVERY GOAL
IF YOU JUST TRUST ME
I’D TELL YOU MY SECRETS
IF YOU HEAR ME
WOULD BE ENOUGH
IF YOU JUST TOUCH ME
BUT I CAN FEEL IT DEEP INSIDE YOU
SUCKING YOUR BRAIN
AGAIN AND AGAIN
YOUR HEART
IS MADE OF GOLD THAT’S TRUE
AND THIS MATTER
MAKES YOU INSANE
(CHORUS)
IT’S JUST MONEY
JUST MONEY
JUST MONEY
JUST MONEY
CAN’T BUY YOUR LOVE ANYWAY
BUT I CAN BUY YOUR ASS
FOR A NIGHT OR TWO
I WON’T LEAD YOU
TO TRUTH ANY DAY
BUT I CAN MAKE YOU SUFFER
FOR A DOLLAR OR TWO
(CHORUS)
03. IT’S COLD OUT THERE 4:42
THE WIND WHISPERS DEATH EVERYWHERE
EVERYDAY, DON'T FEEL MY FINGERS
THEY'RE SO COLD AND I DON'T CARE
IT'S COLD OUT THERE
SO I DRINK
BAD WHISKY TO BLOW MY SHIVERS AWAY
ALL THE DAY AND I SINK
WITHOUT FEELING IT THROUGH MY VEINS
THERE'S NO WAY
(CHORUS)
I CAN'T BE HEARD, CAN'T BE SEEN
I FEEL LIKE I'M LOST IN A FROZEN MAZE
CAN'T BE LOVED
NEITHER HATED, NOBODY CARES
I CANNOT LEAVE, CAN'T BE RELIEVED
CANNOT DREAM 'CAUSE I'M AWAKE
YOU KNOW I'M DOWN
'CAUSE FOR ME THE SUN'S NEVER SHONE
THEY CHASED ME AWAY
FROM MY FUCKING STAIRWELL
A LOVELY HELL, THEY BEAT ME
FOR I ASKED FOR A BLOODY FAG
ON THE MAIN DRAG
HAVE TO HIDE
'CAUSE POVERTY SCARES THE RICHEST ONES
THE SILLIEST ONES, DREW SOME BLOOD
'CAUSE IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO BRAVE THE COLD
WHAT MY DEALER TOLD
(CHORUS)
HIGH, SHINE HIGH, SHINE HIGH, SHINE HIGH
IT'S COLD OUT THERE
THE WIND WHISPERS DEATH EVERYWHERE
EVERYDAY, DON'T FEEL MY FINGERS
THEY'RE SO COLD AND I DON'T CARE
IT'S COLD OUT THERE
IT'S COLD OUT THERE
TAKE A LOOK AT THE SADNESS EVERYWHERE,
EVERY DAY, , IT'S FUCKING COLD OUT THERE
AND ALL THE BASTARDS DON'T CARE
THEY ONLY PRAY
(CHORUS)
04. BEYOND THE GRAVES 4:32
PUT THEM TO THE SWORD
'CAUSE THEY THINK DIFFERENT
NO DIRT NAP OR SWEET WORDS
'CAUSE THEIR BELIEFS ARE DISCREPANT
TURN UP THEIR BLOODY TOES
IF YOU SAY THEY ACCUSED YOU
"KILL TO LIVE, THAT'S HOW LIFE GOES"
LIKE THERE'S NO CIVILIZATION BEHIND YOU
(CHORUS)
THE BRAVES AND THE COWARDS
ARE TREATED THE SAME
BEYOND THE GRAVE
AS THEY KILL IN THE NAME OF GOD
GROWS THE SHAME
BEYOND THE GRAVES
THEY SAY "LADIES AND CHILDREN FIRST"
DROPPING BOMBS IN THE HEART OF THE CITY,
TRYING TO KILL THEIR ENDLESS THIRST
DESTROYING THE BEAUTIES OF HUMANITY
THOSE PLACES WHERE WE WON'T GO AGAIN
WHERE THE TREES GLOW IN THE NIGHT
EVERY TIME NATURE WINS ANOTHER STRAIN
ANOTHER MUSHROOM
FOR ANOTHER STUPID FIGHT
(CHORUS)
I HOPE MY WORDS CAN HELP THEY'RE ALL I GOT
I HAVE NO GUN AND I WON'T EVER HAVE ONE
I'M THE ONE DANCING IN THE FIRELIGHT
WHILST SOME OTHERS GET RAPED IN THE DARK
THE TWENTIETH CENTURY'S NEW TREND
IS TO FIGHT FOR LOVE, TO FIGHT FOR PEACE
SO I MAY WANNA ASK WHAT'S NEXT
WHAT'S HUMANITY'S NEXT MASTERPIECE?
(CHORUS)
BEYOND THE GRAVES ! 8X
05. ONE OF THEM 4:26
IF I HAD TO LOSE MY MORALS
AND BECOME ONE OF THEM
FALL IN A DECADENT SPIRAL
WITH GAIN AS MY ONLY ANTHEM
WOULD YOU TIE ME TO A TREE
AND BURN IT IN THE EVENING DOWN
IF I ASKED YOU TO JUST BURY ME
AND PEE ON EVERY FLOWER
THAT GROWS ON MY TOMB
IF I HAD TO LOSE MY LOVE
AND REACH THE DEEPEST BOREDOM
WOULD YOU STRANGLE ME
WITH LEATHER GLOVES
AND ABANDON ME FAR FROM HOME
IF I HAD TO LOSE YOU MY LOVE
AND BECOME ONE OF THEM
SATISFIED WITH MY OWN DRECK MY LOVE
I’LL BE THE WORST OF THEM
(CHORUS)
WON’T EVER BE ONE OF THEM
ADDICTED TO GOLD AND FAME
DON’T WANNA BE ONE OF THEM
DON’T WANNA ME THE ONE TO BLAME
IF I HAD TO LOSE MY LOVE
AND REACH THE DEEPEST BOREDOM
WOULD YOU STRANGLE ME
WITH LEATHER GLOVES
AND ABANDON ME FAR FROM HOME
AND AS MY MORALS WOULD FADE AWAY
AND LEAVE THE PLACE TO ANOTHER ME
LIKE CHARACTERS OF A VIDEO GAME
I’LL DIE AND DIE AGAIN UNTIL
YOU COME BACK TO ME
(CHORUS)
06. (On a) MOONLESS NIGHT 2:59
ON A MOONLESS NIGHT
NOTHING’S BRIGHT
TREES ARE STILL
IT’S ALMOST UNREAL
ON A MOONLESS NIGHT
EVERYTHING’S QUIET
STREETS ARE DARK
NO MORE BIRDS IN THE PARK
(CHORUS 1)
ON A MOONLESS NIGHT
WHEN NOTHING GOES RIGHT
CAN YOU SEE MY FACE
IN THIS LIGHTLESS SPACE
ON A MOONLESS NIGHT
A MAN’S WAITING ON THE STREET
HE’S TIRED AND BLIGHTED
NO ONE KNOWS HIM
ON A MOONLESS NIGHT
SOMEONE GOT A FRIGHT
WHEN HE SAW A SHADOW RUNNING
A MINDLESS MAN SUFFERING
(CHORUS 2)
ON A MOONLESS NIGHT
WHEN NOTHING GOES RIGHT
CAN YOU SEE MY FACE
IN THIS LIGHTLESS SPACE
ONCE YOU’LL MEET HIM ON
ONE OF THESE NIGHTS
ON A MOONLESS NIGHT
WHERE NOTHING GOES RIGHT
(CHORUS 2)
AND THIS OLD MAN
ALL THE MOONLESS NIGHTS RUNS
HE GOES FURTHER THAN ANYONE
TO LIGHT UP THE SUN
AGAIN
07. GUARDIANS OF LIGHT 4:24
EVERY BOAT SINKS SOMEDAY
YOURS, MINE, OURS
EVERY BLUE SKY TURNS GREY
ANOTHER ANCHOR, ANOTHER GRAVE
I LOVE YOU MORE
AND MORE EVERYDAY
THE LIGHTHOUSE IS KEPT SO
CLEAN AND BRIGHT
TO KEEP YOU AWAY FROM THE CLIFFS
AS YOUR SHIP IS FLOATING NEARBY
THE BEAMS SHINE ON YOU
TO MAKE YOU DRIFT
(CHORUS)
AS YOU SAIL THROUGH
ENDLESS WAVES
BETWEEN WHAT’S WRONG
AND WHAT’S RIGHT
EVERY ANCHOR’S ANOTHER GRAVE
UNLESS YOU FIND YOUR
GUARDIANS OF LIGHT
THE GROUND SMILES TO YOU
AND SEEMS SO CALM
DOWN WHERE THE DEAD MEN GO
THE SHORES ARE WAITING
WITH OPEN ARMS
BUT YOU JUST CAN’T LET ME GO
(CHORUS)
WHEN THE SEA IS FLAT
AND THE SUN SHINES
THE DEMONS OF THE DEEP
THEY ARE ASLEEP
BUT DON’T YOU
TURN DOWN THE LIGHTS
‘CAUSE THE NIGHTS AND WINDS
ALWAYS COME AS LIGHTENING
(CHORUS)
EVERY ANCHOR’S ANOTHER GRAVE
UNLESS YOU FIND YOUR
GUARDIANS OF LIGHT
08. DREAM AWAY 3:48
SIT BACK, I WANNA TALK
WITH YOU NOW
HEAR NOW, WHAT I HAVE TO TELL YOU
COME BACK, TO THOSE DAYS
YOU BROKE ME
SO DOWN, THAT I COULDN’T
BREATHE NO MORE
A SHOWDOWN’S WHAT
YOU MADE OF MY LIFE
TILL NOW, I SHUT BUT I REALIZED
SPEAK NOW, WHAT DO YOU
THINK OF THIS
TELL ME NOW, YOU STUPID LITTLE SHIT
(CHORUS)
DREAM AWAY YOU SAY
LIFE AIN’T A GAME THAT WE PLAY
DREAM AWAY YOU SAY
DREAM AWAY !
FUCK YOU, YOU MADE
MY FEARS COME TRUE
KILL YOU, JUST A DREAM
TO SHOOT YOU
THE TRUTH, A THING
YOU NEVER SAID TO ME
WE GREW, BUT I NEVER GOT FREE
TIME TO PAY FOR WHAT
YOU MADE ME SAY
TIME TO BREAK THE SILENCE WITH PAIN
(CHORUS)
SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE
THE WORLD’S ON MY SHOULDERS
ALL THIS TIME PASSED AND
YOU’RE MAKING ME OVER
I’M DOWN, MY HATE IS GROWING
YOU FROWN, YOU MOTHERFUCKER
WIND’S BLOWN, BLOWING MY JOY AWAY
I'VE GROWN, BUT I'VE GROWN IN PAIN
(CHORUS)
DREAM AWAY
09 .WHAT COLOUR IS YOUR SMILE 3:38
SO, SO, SO MANY GIRLS
SO MANY, SO MANY SMILES
WANT SOME LOVE OR HATE ?
DO YOU BELIEVE IN DRUGS OR FATE ?
SO, SO, SO, SO MANY TIMES
SO MANY, SO MANY SMILES
THEY’RE LIGHTNING YOUR EYES
LIKE THE STARS LIGHT THE SKIES
(CHORUS)
HEY, HEY YEAH,
WHAT COLOUR IS YOUR SMILE ?
HEY, HEY YEAH,
WHAT COLOUR IS YOUR SMILE ?
THE FREEZING SMILE
OF A MAN HIGH ON GRASS
THE FREEZING SMILE
OF THE COKE ON THE GLASS
SIPPING HAPPINESS IN A PINT
AND MOTIVATION UP MY NOSE
A LITTLE SATISFACTION
THROUGH MY VEINS
HEY PEOPLE THAT’S HOW LIFE GOES
(CHORUS)
HAVE A GIRL, A PAY AND A WIFE
AND DRINK YOURSELF OUT
EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT
GET THE CABLE AND A FLAT SCREEN
TO HAVE A LINE ON EVERY MORNING
SIPPING HAPPINESS IN A PINT
AND MOTIVATION UP MY NOSE
A LITTLE SATISFACTION
THROUGH MY VEINS
HEY PEOPLE, THAT’S HOW LIFE GOES
(CHORUS)
WHAT WHAT
WHAT COLOUR IS YOUR SMILE ?
10. BLINDNESS AS INNOCENCE 5:16
FOR ALL THE TEARS WE’VE CRIED
AND ALL THE FEARS WE’VE FOUGHT
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAN A LIE
« REASON OF STATE AS A UNIQUE REASON »
TO ALL THE CHILDREN THAT WE LIE TO
AND EVERY MURDER WE HAVE TO HIDE
FOR EVERY SUICIDE UNDER SILENCE
THERE’S A WORLD WITH VIOLENCE ?
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DIE
NDER A BURNING RAIN?
HOW DEEP CAN WE FALL
WITH BLINDNESS AS INNOCENCE ?
AND ALL THE BELIEFS WE HAVE
THEY'RE JUST MIRRORS OF OUR FEARS
THERE’S NO JUSTICE FOR THE BRAVE
ONLY A BLAZE OF GLORY
AND SHADES OF GRAY
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DIE
WITH A BULLET IN YOUR HEART ?
HOW DEEP CAN WE FALL
WITH BLINDNESS AS INNOCENCE ?
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DIE
UNDER A BURNING RAIN?
HOW DEEP CAN WE FALL
WITH BLINDNESS AS INNOCENCE ?
AND ALL THE CITIES WE’VE BUILT
WITH NO BRIDGES BETWEEN THEM
AS PROMISES FOR A BETTER FUTURE
BUT THERE’S NO FUTURE AFTER ALL
CLOSE THE DOOR ! TURN OFF THE LIGHT !
ON ALL THOSE LIES
WE JUST CLOSE OUR EYES
HOW DEEP CAN WE FALL
WITH BLINDNESS AS INNOCENCE?
WE'RE BLIND WE AIN'T INNOCENTS !
11. LULLABY 3:41
GOT SLEEPLESS NIGHTS AGAIN
ON MY DREAMLESS PILLOW
THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE
WHEN THE MORNING LIGHT
STARTS TO GLOW
HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS
WON’T DO YOU NO HARM
WISH YOU CAN UNDERSTAND
IT'S SOMETHING I CAN’T STAND
(CHORUS)
OH SWEET LONELY SONG
OH SWEET LONELY SONG
WOULD YOU BE MY LULLABY ?
I’M REWINDING THROUGH MY DAY
ALL THESE THINGS I SHOULDN’T HAVE SAID
TELL ME I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
TO PLAY THIS GAME ?
SHOULD I JUST JUST BURN MY BED ?
(CHORUS)
ANOTHER STORM IS COMING
BLOWING THROUGH MY GUTS AND BRAINS
AND AS THE SAD STREETS ARE WHISPERING
AM I THE ONLY ONE TO PLAY THIS GAME ?
AND WHEN MORNING COMES
AND THE MOON CRIES ITS NIGHT
I WISH I COULD JUST STAY NUMB
BUT I STRUGGLE IN THE LIGHTS
HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS
WON’T DO YOU NO HARM
WISH YOU CAN UNDERSTAND
IT'S SOMETHING I CAN’T STAND
(CHORUS)

My World Was In Your Hands 5:46
Just woke up in the middle of the night
In my sleep i was holding you tight
Our fingers were crossed and our hands tied
I walked in your dreams and you walked in mine
Then I remembered and got a little fright
Reminding me of those days behind
That’s all messed up in my mind
Could it be that you were mine ?
In your hands
My world was in your hands
I wish you were not the same
As all the persons I blame
I thought you were different
When my world was in your hands
It’s dark and cold, and I’m missing light
My king size bed feels empty tonight
As the lonely ghosts are whistling outside
I shiver all night without you by my side
In your hands
My world was in your hands
chorus
My world was in your hands
It could’ve lasted until the end
But you just couldn’t understand
You let it fall instead
My world was in your hands
My whole world was in your hands
